| Richea
alpina is a low growing alpine (or rarely subalpine)
plant that grows on the mountains of the south west
(Frankland, Wilmot, Western and Eastern Arthur Ranges, Mt
Bobs).
This step in the key could also lead to the hybrid
between Richea scoparia and R. pandanifolia.
These hybrids are relatively common wherever both species
occur (especially after disturbance). They were once
referred to as Richea
Xcurtisiae. Some similar hybrids between
Richea dracophylla and R.scoparia occur on the Wellington
Range (e.g. below the Organ Pipes onMt Wellington andon
the East West trail below Collins Bonnet)
